This push for alternative fuels under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi will build potential for not having any imports of petrol, reduce pollution and bring cost-effective fuels. Alternative fuels will indeed change the whole landscape of India’s economy and it will not only make farmers Annadattta to Urjadatta but also providers of Bio-aviation fuel.”

    Reflecting on this milestone event, Mr Vijay Nirani, Managing Director of TruAlt Bioenergy – India’s Largest Ethanol Producer expressed, “This milestone sets a remarkable precedent for sustainable transportation solutions and embodies Toyota’s commitment to shaping a cleaner and more self-sufficient automotive landscape. The electrified flex fuel vehicle prototype undoubtedly symbolizes a harmonious synergy of electrification and biofuels. It is a progressive step towards mitigating carbon emissions and realizing India’s ambitious energy goals. At the heart of India’s sustainable energy journey lies the noteworthy contribution of the sugar and biofuel industry, which plays a pivotal role in the Ethanol Blending Program. It is indeed a very proud moment for everyone in the sugar and bioenergy industry to witness the dawn of this day and envision a future where ethanol propels us towards ecological equilibrium. This approach aligns seamlessly with TruAlt Bioenergy’s steadfast commitment to fueling our Nation’s aspirations through economical, homegrown and environmentally benign solutions. I constantly highlight that we as an industry have not touched the tip of the iceberg, the kind of forward integration that we can do in this sector is unimaginable.”
